01 — 06 / What we do
Paving, kerbs, and the groundwork underneath.
Most paving that fails did not fail at the surface. It failed in the base nobody saw. We do the layerwork ourselves, so the part that matters is the part we control.
Paving installation
Driveways, parking areas, access roads and courtyards.
Interlocking pavers, cobbles and clay brick, laid in herringbone, stretcher or basketweave. We set out the area first so the cuts fall where they are least visible and the pattern runs true to the kerb line. Base preparation, edge restraint and compaction are part of the job, not an extra.

Paving repairs and relaying
Sunken patches, spreading joints and failed sections lifted and put back properly.
Paving sinks where the base has washed out or was never compacted properly. We lift the affected area, fix what is underneath, and relay using your existing pavers wherever they are sound, so the repair does not end up as an obvious patch of new blocks.

Kerbs and edging
Mountable, barrier and flush kerbing, priced per metre.
Precast and cast in-situ kerbing, channels and edge restraint. Paving without proper edge restraint spreads at the perimeter and keeps spreading, so kerbs go in on a concrete haunch with the joints closed, not simply bedded on sand.

Site clearing and groundwork
Excavation, levelling, filling and compaction.
Clearing, cut and fill, trenching and layerworks, compacted in layers to the depth the surface above it needs. This is the stage that decides whether everything laid on top lasts, and it is the stage most commonly rushed.

Stormwater and drainage
Channels, catchpits, pipework and headwalls.
Lined channels, catchpits, manholes, pipe outlets and cast headwalls, with stone pitching where water leaves the system and would otherwise cut into the bank. We fall the surface toward the inlets rather than hoping it drains.

Retaining walls
Block and segmental walls, built with drainage behind them.
Retaining walls fail from water pressure far more often than from weight. Ours are built on a proper footing with drainage and backfill behind the face, so the wall is holding soil rather than holding water.
